You've been busy. :)

 

Maybe you'll find it's too hot for the UEGO sensor located that close to the turbo?

 

Thanks, i am hoping the heat shield will stop the radiant heat and as the sensor is screwed through the heat shield it should act as a heat-sink... but that is yet to be proven! :D

Great project. You've put a lot of effort into this and it really shows. Credit to you for doing it all yourself :thumbs:

 

Thanks :D

I subscribed to this ages ago but just caught up. awesome work. Good info on the diff mounts i WAS going to go with the solid ones on mine but after seeing the damage they can do i'll stick with stock, going back to stock rad also. Keep it up inspiring stuff. :thumbs:

Thanks for the comments guys!

 

The Holset is a HX52, Billet Compressor wheel with a 66mm In and a 99mm Exducer . It flows 88 lb/min and is similar to a gt4294r or gt4202r. Cost me £500 used.

 

Will be interesting to compare to some of the other single Supras once Ryan G has worked his magic! :D

Definately will be interesting to see how it compares. I've always loved the holsets.

 

By the way, did you port the exhaust manifolds waste gate hole? I've read the log manifolds boost creep quite easily.

Hi guys!

Now I could start the car, I found that the Spec twin plate did not fully disengage…

 

So I brought a ¾ Master and upgraded from the stock 5/8

 

I also made an adapter to convert the Tilton to the stock bolt pattern

New braided line to replace the soild line and all the joints

New line made and covered with slevee to protect other items from rubbing

Also got my water neck welded up

And my new (used) wheels and tyres turned up!

Love this pic!

Right next up I had some bad news, it seemed that the stock cams although UK spec would start holding the car back over 500HP so I bit the bullet and got:

 

GSC S1 Inlet and Exhaust Cams

Brian Crower Single springs and titanium retainers

Whifbitz Alloy adjustable cam pulleys

Whifbitz Billet tensioner (The GSC’s make it an interference engine)

Alloy crank, Power Steering, Alt and water pump pulleys (Just for Dan.)

 

Big warning for those thinking of going for the GCS S1’s! The valve springs bind up! They need changing to uprated ones!

 

So all that work and I had to take it back apart :(

 

Stock crank pulley off, took ages as no one greased it…

After test fitting I measured up my cams and worked out the shim sizes needed! Thanks to dan for the awesome spreadsheet! :D

Next up is to send the car away to Martin at MB Automotive to map the AEM for a setup and to see what numbers we can get!

 

Will start a new thread with the info for that.

 

Thanks for reading!
